Stone Soup publishes the best writing by children 10 to 13. We publish the caliber work that inspires serious writers. Stone Soup has been part of GATE creating writing programs since we first began publishing in 1973. We have contributors, like ___, who send us stories every week. Many of our contributors write more, and more consistently, than many an adult writer. For those of us who know what children can do — there is little more awe inspiring that the work of talented creative writers.
